Web Select Option Gone After Recent Edge Update

Good day mdyoung12, thanks for your question. I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. As far as checking on this there is no announcement that this will be removed and most likely this is looking like a bug as I have the same version of the browser and have the same thing which is Web Select is missing and for this you can also check if this is present on the Canary, Dev or Beta versions via the link below and you can also send a feedback to the team that is working on Edge and hopefully a fix will be applied soon on the next update and you can provide a feedback from the browser itself by clicking on the 3 dots > Help and feedback > Send feedback.

Thank you, Paul, for your quick response. I downloaded the Edge Canary version to see if it was missing in that version too, and it was. I have submitted feedback to MS Edge team about this issue. Hopefully, they'll fix this soon. I use that feature quite often.

Thanks,

Micheal

You are welcome and hopefully this gets fixed om the next update. Have a good day.

Ctrl>shift>x still works to invoke web select. It would be better to have the clickable option in the menu back.

I no longer have the Web Select option in the right-click context menu. I still have Web Capture,

The Web Capture option opens a mini-toolbar which includes the Web Select tool. You can achieve the same result if you show the Web Capture button on the browser toolbar.

The length of the context menu has been a very common complaint for a long time. I suspect the devs are removing the least-used options from it; if you disagree with their choices, make your views known by submitting feedback (Alt-Shift-i).

As Me_435 pointed out, Ctrl-Shift-X now works again to invoke the Web Select tool. It calls up the same mini-toolbar as Ctrl-Shift-S, but with focus on the select tool and the selection cursor already active.
